EASY LEMON & HERB ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Farenheit
• Remove whole chicken from packaging, remove giblets (if included), rinse under cold water, pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, onion, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix together until well blended. Set aside 1 Tablespoon to use for the roasted vegetables.
• With the remaining herb butter mixture, gently rub it inside the skin of the chicken breast, taking care not to tear the skin if possible. Then rub the outside of the entire chicken with the herb butter.
• Stuff the chicken cavity with the onion, garlic, rosemary and lemon.
• Tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
• Place the chicken onto the rack of your roasting pan and place in the oven.
• Roast chicken for 30 minutes at 425 degrees.
• Meanwhile, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the vegetables on top of the parchment paper. I keep each vegetable together, which makes it easy to remove the asparagus and carrots from the potatoes later.
• Melt the tablespoon of herb butter that you have set aside for about 10-15 seconds in the microwave (or until melted), then pour evenly over the veggies.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over all of the vegetables.
• After the chicken has been roasting for 30 minutes, add the sheet of veggies to the rack below the chicken. Roast for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove the asparagus and carrots, then return the potatoes to the oven. Roast the chicken and the potatoes for another 15-20 minutes, just until a thermometer shows the chicken is done at 155 degrees and the potatoes are softened and fully cooked.
• Remove both from the oven, and allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
• Enjoy!

• Place the chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan and brush the top and sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast chicken in the oven, basting with drippings at least once, until juices run clear and leg bone easily pulls away from the meat, about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.

LEMON AND HERB ROAST CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the top position and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss together the potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Roast until the vegetables brown slightly and the potatoes just begin to soften, about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.
• Meanwhile, rub the chicken breast skin with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle with the poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Once the vegetables begin to soften, put the chicken breasts on top and roast until the skin is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove the chicken breasts and let them rest for a few minutes. Toss the roasted vegetables with juice from 1 of the lemon halves and the parsley. Cut the bones from the chicken breasts and slice the meat. Divide the chicken and roasted vegetables among 4 plates. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges and serve alongside.

LEMON-HERB-ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rearrange oven racks so that the bird can be placed in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
• Discard giblets (and any other foreign objects) that you find inside the bird. Rinse bird under cold water, then pat dry. Rub generously with salt, inside and out.
• In a small bowl, blend butter, pepper, rosemary, garlic and lemon zest. Rub the butter mixture all over the birds. Use your fingers to separate the skin from the breast meat and slide some of the mixture underneath the skin. Cross the legs and bind with twine.
• Place potatoes, cut side down in a large shallow roasting pan, or some facsimile. Perch bird atop potatoes. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove to baste and squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon overtop.

If bird begins to burn on top, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.
